A Black Lips concert can get crazy. The band is banned from the famous Athens, GA venue, 40 Watt Club, after lighting their equipment on fire. I thought I even remembered hearing someone tell me that guitarist Cole Alexander strips nude and plays the guitar with his penis, usually leading to his arrest or security calling the show off early. That also happened last night during the band's Londo...

Black Lips also have a new video out today, for "It Feels Alright" off Good Bad Not Evil. It was filmed at Atlanta's rap-famous Magic City:

Yes, you read the title correctly. GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan collaborated with the Black Lips for a secret show at a venue called The Compound during SXSW this past Friday. It’s kinda hard to explain this incredulous collaboration, which in theory sounds incredible, but in practice kind of falls flat. I think the following [...]

I didn't see anything, no sir. But the internet is all abuzz about 2 boys from Team Black Lips & Team Wavves taking their relationship to the next level with a good old fashioned bar brawl on Friday night! There's 2 different accounts - one that places the broken bottle in the hands of Wavves' tour manager and one that says Nathan himself caused the damage to Jared's face. Both claim to be 1...

The now infamous skinny indie kid rumble in Brooklyn between Black Lips’ Jared Swilley and Wavves’ Nathan Williams hasn’t been fully digested by the blogosphere just yet, as controversy is still brewing over Swilley’s use of the slur “faggot” in his...

Black Lips' Super 8 video for their take on the sentimental tribute to friendship, "I'll be with you". If there was any question that the song is slightly tongue-in-cheek, it's only reinforced by the silliness and occasional scariness of this video. Those lovable scamps.

There has been an internet version of a verbal deathmatch going on for awhile now between Black Lips and Wavves, especially coming from Jared’s (Black Lips) side. So I’m sure it won’t shock you to learn that in Brooklyn this weekend, when the two happened upon each other, a fight ensued. Different stories about the incident are coming out from both camps and you can check them out below via

Diplo remixed the Black Lips single "Veni Vidi Vici" (latin for I Came, I Saw, I Conquered, which you can hear in the chorus of the song). Vice is going to release the in the UK in December on their VICE Records, but you can download it for free from their website right now. It's a cool ditty - very laid back but catchy. Good guitar twangs. I recommend it even if you don't consider yourself...

They sound like four dudes who spent a lot of time listening to classic rock records, but they sure know how to bring it when they play. We're talking about none other than the Black Lips who have terrorized stages this summer at both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. The Atlanta band's new album, Good Bad, Not Evil? hits stores September 11th. The band recently released a video for Good Bad, Not Evi...

Here's a new one from 200 Million Thousand, out at the end of the month. I really liked Good, Bad, Not Evil, but I haven't been too into any of their new stuff. "Short Fuse" is probably my favorite of the leaks, but if these tracks are indicative of the rest of the album, it's gonna be a disappointment. More people are probably interested in hearing their crazy tour stories than their music.Bla...

As mentioned previously on this blog, The Black Lips have a new album, 200 Thousand Million, coming out on February 24th. In anticipation of the release, the band are holding a contest. And in all seriousness, who doesn't love a contest? They are asking fans to make a video for the single "Starting Over" (which Library Girl pointed out seems destined to be in demand for use in commercials). Fans
